What is this product? BEA Union Investment Asian Bond and Currency Fund (the Sub-Fund ) is a sub-fund of BEA Union Investment Series (the Fund ), which is a unit trust established as an umbrella fund under the laws of Hong Kong. Objective and Investment Strategy Objective The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to seek regular interest income, capital gains and currency appreciation from an actively managed portfolio of debt securities denominated in Asian or other currencies and primarily issued by Asian government or corporate entities ( Asian Debt ). Strategy Debt securities invested by the Sub-Fund may include capital securities and preference shares with fixed income features, convertible, exchangeable and non-exchangeable and non-convertible debt securities, fixed and floating rate bonds, zero coupon and discount bonds, transferable notes, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposits of variable or fixed interest rates listed, traded or dealt in regulated markets or exchanges, as well as bank deposits, negotiated term deposits, short term bills and notes. These debt securities may include below investment grade and non-rated debt securities. The Sub-Fund may also invest in money market instruments, unit trusts and cash. The Sub-Fund will have a limited exposure to investments denominated in RMB. The Sub-Fund s assets will be invested primarily in government bonds and corporate bonds. The Manager may acquire financial futures contracts and currency forward contracts for the Sub- Fund for hedging purposes to reduce risk and enhance asset value, and for investment purposes consistent with the investment objective of the Sub-Fund. The net total aggregate value of contract prices in respect of futures contracts and currency forward contracts entered into other than for hedging may not exceed 20% of the total net asset value of the Sub-Fund. The Manager intends to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 70% of the Sub-Fund s noncash assets in Asian Debt. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment risk The Sub-Fund is an investment fund. The Sub-Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value and therefore your investment in the Sub-Fund may suffer losses. 2. Interest rates, credit and downgrading risk The Sub-Fund invests directly in debt securities, which are susceptible to interest rate changes and may experience significant price volatility. Any fluctuation in interest rates may have a direct effect on the income received by the Sub-Fund and its capital value. If the issuer of any of the securities in which the Sub-Fund invests defaults or suffers insolvency or other financial difficulties, the value of such Sub-Fund will be adversely affected. Investment grade securities invested by the Sub-Fund may be subject to the risk of being downgraded to below investment grade securities. In the event of downgrading in the credit ratings of a security or an issuer relating to a security, the Sub-Fund s investment value in such security may be adversely affected. 2

3. Below investment grade and non-rated securities risk The Sub-Fund may invest in below investment grade or non-rated debt securities. Such debt securities are generally subject to more risk and volatility than higher-rated securities because of reduced credit worthiness, liquidity and greater chance of default and can thereby expose the Sub-Fund to losses. 4. Emerging markets risk As the Sub-Fund will invest principally in debt securities issued by Asian issuers, the Sub-Fund may be subject to risks associated with investments in emerging markets. Investments in emerging markets tend to be more volatile than developed markets and may lead to higher level of risks due to, among other factors, greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity and regulatory risks. 5. Currency risk The Sub-Fund is denominated in US dollars although it may be invested in whole or in part in assets quoted in other currencies. The performance of the Sub-Fund will therefore be affected by movements in the exchange rate between the currencies in which the assets are held and US dollars. 6. Derivative risk The Sub-Fund may invest in financial futures contracts and currency forward contracts. Investments in these instruments generally involve higher risks, which may result in a significant loss to the Sub-Fund. These risks include: - credit and counterparty risk, i.e. risk of default or insolvency of the issuers or counterparties of the instruments; - liquidity risk - if there is no active market for the instruments, in extreme market conditions, the Sub-Fund may have difficulty in selling the instruments or may be forced to sell at a substantial discount to market value; - volatility risk, i.e. risk of higher fluctuation in value of the instruments and thus that of the Sub-Fund. 7. Risks associated with distribution out of capital The Manager may at its discretion make distributions from income and/or capital in respect of the distributing classes of the Sub-Fund. Investors should note that the distributions paid out of capital amount to a return or withdrawal of part of the unitholder s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Such distribution may result in an immediate reduction of the Net Asset Value per Unit. 8. Currency hedging risk Adverse exchange rate fluctuations between the base currency of the Sub-Fund and the class currency of the currency hedged class units may result in a decrease in return and/or loss of capital for unitholders. Over-hedged or under-hedged positions may arise and there can be no assurance that these currency hedged class units will be hedged at all times or that the Manager will be successful in employing the hedge. 3

9. Risks associated with RMB classes of units Investors may invest in RMB classes of units. It should be noted that the RMB is currently not a freely convertible currency as it is subject to foreign exchange control policies of the Chinese government. The Chinese government s policies on exchange control and repatriation restrictions are subject to change and the investors investment in the RMB classes of units may be adversely affected. There is also no assurance that the RMB will not be subject to devaluation. Where the hedging transactions become ineffective, any devaluation of the RMB could adversely affect the value of investors investments in the RMB classes of units. If investors are non RMB-based (e.g. Hong Kong) investors and convert other currencies into RMB so as to invest in the RMB classes of units and subsequently convert the RMB realisation proceeds and/or dividend payment (if any) back into other currencies, they may incur currency conversion costs and may suffer a loss if RMB depreciates against such other currencies. When calculating the value of the RMB classes of units, reference to the CNH rate (i.e. the exchange rate for the offshore RMB market in Hong Kong) rather than the CNY rate (i.e. the exchange rate for the onshore RMB market) will be made and the value of the RMB classes of units thus calculated will be affected by fluctuations in the CNH rate. While CNH and CNY represent the same currency, they are traded in different and separate markets which operate independently. As such, CNH does not necessary have the same exchange rate and may not move in the same direction as CNY. In respect of the hedged RMB classes of units, the Manager may attempt to hedge the base currency of the Sub-Fund and/or other currencies of non-rmb-denominated underlying investments of the Sub-Fund back to RMB. If the counterparties of the instruments used for hedging purpose default, investors of the hedged RMB classes of units may be exposed to RMB currency exchange risk on an unhedged basis and may therefore suffer further losses. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the hedging strategy will be effective and you may still be subject to the RMB currency exchange risk which may apply to the nonhedged RMB classes. Whilst the hedging strategy may protect investors against a decline in the value of the Sub-Fund s base currency and/or other currencies of non-rmb-denominated underlying investments relative to RMB, investors will not benefit from any potential gain in the value of the hedged RMB classes of units if the Sub-Fund s base currency and/or other currencies of non-rmb-denominated underlying investments of the Sub-Fund rise against RMB. The PRC government s imposition of restrictions on the repatriation of RMB out of China may limit the depth of the RMB market outside the PRC and make it impossible for the Sub-Fund to hold sufficient amounts of RMB outside the PRC to meet realisation requests and/or pay dividends in RMB. In particular, the Sub-Fund may not be able to get sufficient amounts of RMB in a timely manner to meet realisation requests of the RMB classes of units and/or pay dividends (if any) if all or a substantial portion of its underlying investments are non-rmb denominated. Even if the Sub-Fund aims to pay realisation proceeds and/or dividends to investors of the RMB classes of units in RMB, investors may not receive RMB upon realisation of their investments or receive dividend payments in RMB under extreme market conditions when there is not sufficient RMB for currency conversion. Under such circumstances, the Manager may pay realisation proceeds and/or dividends in USD. There is also a risk that payment of investors realisation proceeds and/or dividends in RMB may be delayed when there is not sufficient RMB for currency conversion for settlement of the realisation proceeds and dividends. In any event, realisation proceeds will be paid within one calendar month of the relevant Dealing Day or (if later) receipt of a properly documented request for realisation of units. 4

What is this product? BEA Union Investment Asia Pacific Multi Income Fund (the Sub-Fund ) is a sub-fund of BEA Union Investment Series (the Fund ), which is a unit trust established as an umbrella fund under the laws of Hong Kong. Objective and Investment Strategy Objective The investment objective of the BEA Union Investment Asia Pacific Multi Income Fund is to seek income and long-term capital growth through investing in an actively managed portfolio of debt securities, listed REITs and other listed securities including equities and managed funds, that are issued or traded in the Asia Pacific region or which have significant operations in, or derive or are expected to derive a significant portion of their revenues from, the Asia Pacific region. The debt securities and other listed securities as described above are hereinafter referred to as Debt Securities and Other Listed Securities, respectively. Strategy The BEA Union Investment Asia Pacific Multi Income Fund will invest primarily in Debt Securities, listed REITs and Other Listed Securities that generally offer distribution income. The Sub-Fund may invest up to 90% of its assets in Debt Securities, and up to 40% of its assets in listed REITs and Other Listed Securities. The Asia Pacific region includes emerging market countries as well as developed countries. Debt Securities that may be invested by the Sub-Fund will be primarily capital securities and preference shares with fixed income features, convertible, exchangeable and non-exchangeable and non-convertible debt securities, fixed and floating rate bonds, zero coupon and discount bonds, transferable notes, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposits of variable or fixed interest rates, listed, traded or dealt in regulated markets or exchanges, as well as bank deposits, negotiated term deposits, short term bills and notes. Debt Securities may be issued by government, quasi-government organisations, financial institutions, multi-national organisations and other corporations. The Sub-Fund may invest in investment grade debt securities (rated as Baa3 or above by Moody s Investor Services, Inc. or BBB- or above by Standard & Poor s Corporation or equivalent rating by other recognized rating agencies) as well as below investment grade debt securities, and non-rated debt securities that meet the standards as determined by the Manager. The Sub-Fund may also invest in collective investment schemes to achieve its investment objectives, and hold cash or cash equivalents. The Sub-Fund will have a limited exposure to investments denominated in RMB. The Manager may acquire financial futures contracts and currency forward contracts for hedging purposes to reduce risk and enhance asset value. The Manager may also acquire financial futures contracts for investment purposes consistent with the investment objective of the Sub-Fund. The net total aggregate value of contract prices in respect of futures contracts entered into other than for hedging may not exceed 20% of the total net asset value of the Sub-Fund. The Sub-Fund will not invest in any structured deposits or products. The Manager currently does not intend to enter into any securities lending or share repurchase transactions. 2

What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment risk The Sub-Fund is an investment fund. The Sub-Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value and therefore your investment in the Sub-Fund may suffer losses. 2. Interest rates, credit and downgrading risk The Sub-Fund invests directly in debt securities, which are susceptible to interest rate changes and may experience significant price volatility. Any fluctuation in interest rates may have a direct effect on the income received by the Sub-Fund and its capital value. If the issuer of any of the securities in which the Sub-Fund invests defaults or suffers insolvency or other financial difficulties, the value of such Sub-Fund will be adversely affected. Investment grade securities invested by the Sub-Fund may be subject to the risk of being downgraded to below investment grade securities. In the event of downgrading in the credit ratings of a security or an issuer relating to a security, the Sub-Fund s investment value in such security may be adversely affected. 3. Below investment grade and non-rated securities risk The Sub-Fund may invest in below investment grade or non-rated debt securities. Such debt securities are generally subject to more risk and volatility than higher-rated securities because of reduced credit worthiness, liquidity and greater chance of default and can thereby expose the Sub-Fund to losses. 4. Equity markets risk The Sub-Fund may invest in equities, listed REITs and managed funds, and thus is subject to the risks generally associated with equity investments. Factors affecting the value of such securities include but not limited to changes in investment sentiment, political, economic and social environment, and liquidity and volatility in the investment market. 5. Emerging markets risk The Sub-Fund may invest in or have exposure to securities in the emerging markets. Investments in the emerging markets tend to be more volatile than developed markets and may lead to a higher level of risks due to, among other factors, greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity and regulatory risks. 6. Derivative risk The Sub-Fund may invest in financial futures contracts. Derivative instruments that are not traded on an exchange are subject to, among others, liquidity risk (i.e. the risk that the Sub-Fund may not be able to close out a derivative position in a timely manner and/ or at a reasonable price) and counterparty risks (i.e. the risk that a counterparty may become insolvent and therefore unable to meet its obligations under a transaction). In addition, investments in these instruments generally involve higher volatility, and may result in a significant loss to the Sub-Fund. The Sub-Fund may use financial futures, currency forwards and other derivative instruments for hedging purposes. Such hedging may not achieve the intended purpose. In an adverse situation, the Sub-Fund s use of derivative instruments may become ineffective in achieving hedging and the Sub-Fund may suffer significant losses. 3

7. Effect of distribution out of capital The Manager may at its discretion make distributions from income and/or capital in respect of the distributing classes of the Sub-Fund. Investors should note that the distributions paid out of capital amount to a return or withdrawal of part of the unitholder s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Such distribution may result in an immediate reduction of the Net Asset Value per Unit. 8. Currency hedging risk Adverse exchange rate fluctuations between the base currency of the Sub-Fund and the class currency of the currency hedged class units may result in a decrease in return and/or loss of capital for unitholders. Over-hedged or under-hedged positions may arise and there can be no assurance that these currency hedged class units will be hedged at all times or that the Manager will be successful in employing the hedge. 9. Risks associated with RMB classes of units Investors may invest in RMB classes of units. It should be noted that the RMB is currently not a freely convertible currency as it is subject to foreign exchange control policies of the Chinese government. The Chinese government s policies on exchange control and repatriation restrictions are subject to change and the investors investment in the RMB classes of units may be adversely affected. There is also no assurance that the RMB will not be subject to devaluation. Where the hedging transactions become ineffective, any devaluation of the RMB could adversely affect the value of investors investments in the RMB classes of units. If investors are non RMB-based (e.g. Hong Kong) investors and convert other currencies into RMB so as to invest in the RMB classes of units and subsequently convert the RMB realisation proceeds and/or dividend payment (if any) back into other currencies, they may incur currency conversion costs and may suffer a loss if RMB depreciates against such other currencies. When calculating the value of the RMB classes of units, reference to the CNH rate (i.e. the exchange rate for the offshore RMB market in Hong Kong) rather than the CNY rate (i.e. the exchange rate for the onshore RMB market) will be made and the value of the RMB classes of units thus calculated will be affected by fluctuations in the CNH rate. While CNH and CNY represent the same currency, they are traded in different and separate markets which operate independently. As such, CNH does not necessary have the same exchange rate and may not move in the same direction as CNY. In respect of the hedged RMB classes of units, the Manager may attempt to hedge the base currency of the Sub-Fund and/or other currencies of non-rmb-denominated underlying investments of the Sub-Fund back to RMB. If the counterparties of the instruments used for hedging purpose default, investors of the hedged RMB classes of units may be exposed to RMB currency exchange risk on an unhedged basis and may therefore suffer further losses. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the hedging strategy will be effective and you may still be subject to the RMB currency exchange risk which may apply to the nonhedged RMB classes. Whilst the hedging strategy may protect investors against a decline in the value of the Sub-Fund s base currency and/or other currencies of non-rmb-denominated underlying investments relative to RMB, investors will not benefit from any potential gain in the value of the hedged RMB classes of units if the Sub-Fund s base currency and/or other currencies of non-rmb-denominated underlying investments of the Sub-Fund rise against RMB. 4

The PRC government s imposition of restrictions on the repatriation of RMB out of China may limit the depth of the RMB market outside the PRC and make it impossible for the Sub-Fund to hold sufficient amounts of RMB outside the PRC to meet realisation requests and/or pay dividends in RMB. In particular, the Sub-Fund may not be able to get sufficient amounts of RMB in a timely manner to meet realisation requests of the RMB classes of units and/or pay dividends (if any) if all or a substantial portion of its underlying investments are non-rmb denominated. Even if the Sub-Fund aims to pay realisation proceeds and/or dividends to investors of the RMB classes of units in RMB, investors may not receive RMB upon realisation of their investments or receive dividend payments in RMB under extreme market conditions when there is not sufficient RMB for currency conversion. Under such circumstances, the Manager may pay realisation proceeds and/or dividends in USD. There is also a risk that payment of investors realisation proceeds and/or dividends in RMB may be delayed when there is not sufficient RMB for currency conversion for settlement of the realisation proceeds and dividends. In any event, realisation proceeds will be paid within one calendar month of the relevant Dealing Day or (if later) receipt of a properly documented request for realisation of units.

Objective and Investment Strategy Objective The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to seek long-term growth of capital through a diversified international portfolio of marketable securities, primarily equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants and debt securities convertible into common stocks. 1

Strategy The Sub-Fund will generally invest substantially all and at least 70% of its total assets in equity securities of established companies listed on securities exchanges worldwide, but also may invest in securities traded on any regulated market which operates regularly and is recognized and opened to the public. Such securities include common and preferred stocks, International Depository Receipts ( IDRs ), Global Depository Receipts ( GDRs ) and American Depository Receipts ( ADRs ), debt securities convertible into common or preferred stocks or IDRs, GDRs or ADRs, common stock purchase warrants and rights, marketable joint venture interests, and general and limited partnership interests. The Sub-Fund may also invest in debt securities convertible into common stocks, convertible and non-convertible preferred stock and fixed-income securities of governments, government agencies, supranational agencies and companies, when the Manager believes that the potential for appreciation will equal or exceed that available from investments in equity securities. It is expected that investments of the Sub-Fund will be spread broadly around the world. Under normal circumstances, at least three countries will be represented among the Sub-Fund s portfolio securities and at least three currencies will be represented among the Sub-Fund s portfolio securities. While the Sub-Fund will emphasise investments in companies which are well established in their markets and which have large capitalisations, the Sub-Fund may also be invested in the securities of smaller companies and companies operating in emerging markets. The Manager may acquire financial futures contracts and currency forward contracts for the Sub- Fund for hedging purposes to reduce risk and enhance asset value, and for investment purposes consistent with the investment objective of the Sub-Fund. The net total aggregate value of contract prices in respect of futures contracts and currency forward contracts entered into other than for hedging may not exceed 20% of the total net asset value of the Sub-Fund. The Manager may also acquire warrants for hedging purposes. The Sub-Fund will have a limited exposure to investments denominated in RMB. What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum for details including the risk factors. 1. Investment and market risk The Sub-Fund is an investment fund. The Sub-Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value and therefore your investment in the Sub-Fund may suffer losses. The Sub-Fund invests directly or indirectly in equities and thus is subject to the risks generally associated with equity investment. Factors affecting the stock values include but not limited to changes in investment sentiment, political, economic and social environment and liquidity and volatility in the equity markets. 2. Counterparty risk The Sub-Fund may invest in instruments such as depositary receipts which are linked to the performance of other securities. If the counterparties of these instruments default, the Sub-Fund could suffer substantial losses. In addition, the counterparties with which the Sub-Fund effects transactions cease making markets or quoting prices in certain of the instruments, the Sub-Fund may be unable to enter into a desired transaction or to enter into an offsetting transaction with respect to an open position, which may adversely affect its performance. 2

3. Emerging markets and small company risk The Sub-Fund may be invested in the securities of smaller companies and companies operating in emerging markets. Investments in emerging markets tend to be more volatile than developed markets and may lead to higher level of risks, due to, among other factors, greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity and regulatory risks. Further, the stock prices of small and medium-sized companies may tend to be more volatile than large-sized companies due to a lower degree of liquidity, greater sensitivity to changes in economic conditions and higher uncertainty over future growth prospects. 4. Currency risk The Sub-Fund is denominated in US dollars although it may be invested in whole or in part in assets quoted in other currencies. The performance of the Sub-Fund will therefore be affected by movements in the exchange rate between the currencies in which the assets are held and US dollars. 5. Derivative risk The Sub-Fund may invest in financial futures contracts and currency forward contracts. Investments in these instruments generally involve higher risks, which may result in a significant loss to the Sub-Fund. These risks include: - credit and counterparty risk, i.e. risk of default or insolvency of the issuers or counterparties of the instruments; - liquidity risk - if there is no active market for the instruments, in extreme market conditions, the Sub-Fund may have difficulty in selling the instruments or may be forced to sell at a substantial discount to market value; - volatility risk, i.e. risk of higher fluctuation in value of the instruments and thus that of the Sub-Fund. 6. Currency hedging risk Currency hedged class units may be available in the Sub-Fund and are designated in currencies other than the Sub-Fund s base currency. In such circumstances adverse exchange rate fluctuations between the base currency of the Sub-Fund and the class currency of the currency hedged class units may result in a decrease in return and/or loss of capital for unitholders. The Manager will try to mitigate this usually by hedging the foreign currency exposure of the currency hedged class units into the base currency of the relevant Sub-Fund or into the currency or currencies in which the assets of the relevant Sub-Fund are denominated. However, over-hedged or under-hedged positions may arise and there can be no assurance that these currency hedged class units will be hedged at all times or that the Manager will be successful in employing the hedge. 7. Risks associated with RMB class of units Investors may invest in Class A RMB (Hedged) Units. It should be noted that the RMB is currently not a freely convertible currency as it is subject to foreign exchange control policies of the Chinese government. The Chinese government s policies on exchange control and repatriation restrictions are subject to change, and the investors investment in the RMB class of units may be adversely affected. There is also no assurance that the RMB will not be subject to devaluation. Any devaluation of the RMB could adversely affect the value of investors investments in the RMB class of units. 3

If investors are non RMB-based (e.g. Hong Kong) investors and convert other currencies into RMB so as to invest in the RMB class of units and subsequently convert the RMB realisation proceeds and/or dividend payment (if any) back into other currencies, they may incur currency conversion costs and may suffer a loss if RMB depreciates against such other currencies. When calculating the value of the RMB class of units, reference to the CNH rate (i.e. the exchange rate for the offshore RMB market in Hong Kong) rather than the CNY rate (i.e. the exchange rate for the onshore RMB market) will be made and the value of the RMB class of units thus calculated will be affected by fluctuations in the CNH rate. While CNH and CNY represent the same currency, they are traded in different and separate markets which operate independently. As such, CNH does not necessary have the same exchange rate and may not move in the same direction as CNY. In respect of the hedged RMB class of units, the Manager may attempt to hedge the base currency of the Sub-Fund and/or other currencies of non-rmb-denominated underlying investments of the Sub-Fund back to RMB. The costs of the hedging transactions will be reflected in the net asset value of the hedged RMB class of units and therefore, an investor of such hedged RMB class of units will have to bear the associated hedging costs, which may be significant depending on prevailing market conditions. If the counterparties of the instruments used for hedging purpose default, investors of the hedged RMB class of units may be exposed to RMB currency exchange risk on an unhedged basis and may therefore suffer further losses. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the hedging strategy will be effective and you may still be subject to the RMB currency exchange risk which may apply to the nonhedged RMB class. Whilst the hedging strategy may protect investors against a decline in the value of the Sub-Fund s base currency and/or other currencies of non-rmb-denominated underlying investments relative to RMB, investors will not benefit from any potential gain in the value of the hedged RMB class of units if the Sub-Fund s base currency and/or other currencies of non-rmb-denominated underlying investments of the Sub-Fund rise against RMB. The PRC government s imposition of restrictions on the repatriation of RMB out of China may limit the depth of the RMB market outside the PRC and make it impossible for the Sub-Fund to hold sufficient amounts of RMB outside the PRC to meet realisation requests and/or pay dividends in RMB. In particular, the Sub-Fund may not be able to get sufficient amounts of RMB in a timely manner to meet realisation requests of the RMB class of units and/or pay dividends (if any) if all or a substantial portion of its underlying investments are non-rmb denominated. Even if the Sub-Fund aims to pay realisation proceeds and/or dividends to investors of the RMB class of units in RMB, investors may not receive RMB upon realisation of their investments or receive dividend payments in RMB under extreme market conditions when there is not sufficient RMB for currency conversion. Under such circumstances, the Manager may pay realisation proceeds and/or dividends in USD. There is also a risk that payment of investors realisation proceeds and/or dividends in RMB may be delayed when there is not sufficient RMB for currency conversion for settlement of the realisation proceeds and dividends. In any event, realisation proceeds will be paid within one calendar month of the relevant Dealing Day or (if later) receipt of a properly documented request for realisation of units. 4
